Artificial Intelligence is a broad field with a long history of success and failures. We will explore some applications and algorithms, using JavaScript, at the browser and at the server with Node.js. The key topics to visit: using artificial intelligence in board games, genetic algorithms, neural networks, machine learning, deep learning. JavaScript is everywhere, and with the advent of Internet of Things, Big Data, robotics and drones, and distributed computing, there are more applications that applies artificial intelligence ideas.

Don’t tell your boss, but I want you to make a useless art project–because it’s actually pretty useful. Why? Committing to uselessness is a freeing experiment. As professionals, we tend to focus on the end result instead of the process, and that’s not healthy. Embrace the creative process (iteration and experimentation) on a project and see where the path takes you.

Fig (http://www.fig.sh/) is an Docker-based development environment tool which is owned by Docker. Originally, we can only deploy to one host at one time. My hack in Docker Global Hack Day #2 is to enable Fig to deploy multiple hosts at one time. In this talk, I'll give a brief introduction to Fig first. Then describe my hack in the hack day. Finally I'll give a short demo about deploying apps to multi hosts at one time.

Oh no! You have a bug in your app, but you have no idea where it is. I’ll walk you through how we found and squashed a gnarly bug in socket.io using wireshark, chrome’s developer tools, lots of logging, and pretty graphs. I’ll also show you some good tips and tricks for tracking down and squashing bugs of your own.

Ceph is a mature platform for software-defined storage environments scaling to dozens or hundreds of PetyBytes. However real life implementation, operations and maintenance are complex tasks. Ensuring the right compatibility of software and hardware, avoiding bottlenecks between storage nodes, keeping the complete stack running, exchanging end-of-life hardware and operating the complete stack efficiently may create substantial efforts and risks for IT. Playing around with petabyte-scale storage is no option and reliable service levels are key. Fujitsu presents an easy solution how to move from “Build your own disaster” to an enterprise class service level way of using Ceph based storage.
